arXiv:2607.05892v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: When analyzing a manifold learning algorithm for data lying on a smooth, compact, connected Riemannian submanifold $(\mathcal{M}, g)$ of $\mathbb{R}^d$, a key estimate for the geodesic distance $d_g$ is that there exists $K > 0$ such that $0 \leq d_g(p, q)^2 - \|p-q\|^2 \leq K d_g(p, q)^4$ for all $p, q \in \mathcal{M}$. We observe that more generally, when $\mathcal{M}$ is equipped with a smooth symmetric divergence $D$ satisfying a non-degeneracy condition and $g$ is given by $g_p := \frac{1}{2}\mathrm{Hess}_p(D(p, \cdot))$ for all $p \in \ma
